Part of this report (the crash part) is a duplicate of bug report 1729. The remaining part (about only the password being filled) in is not a bug but rather a quirk of the netcenter login form. Rather than being a single form, it consists of one form for the username and a second form for the password. When a username is entered, it is reflected into a hidden field in the password form. And it is the password form that is submitted to netcenter. So the password is what gets saved and restored. The user name is not on the submitted form and so cannot be saved. It was apparent when single signon was designed that certain sites that used unorthodox forms would not be save-able. But it was clear that such sites would be in the minority and so if the heuristic worked most of the time it would be good enough. It's unfortunate to discover that netcenter is one of those unorthodox sites. In any case, this part of the bug report is being considered as INVALID. Since the bug report has two parts, I have a choice now as to whether to close it out as being a DUPLICATE or as being INVALID. I'll choose the former. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 1729 ***
